Kevin De Bruyne gave a short and direct update about his future at Manchester City after their dominant 4-1 win against West Ham.

The midfielder’s contract is set to expire in June 2025, nearly ten years exactly after his arrival at the club from VfL Wolfsburg in August 2015.

De Bruyne was brought in for £54.5m and hit the ground running, with 17 goals and 15 assists that following campaign. 

Arguably the best Premier League player of this era, the Belgian became an integral cog in Pep Guardiola’s system, winning six titles.

In recent times the midfielder has struggled with a hamstring injury, missing nine matches so far this season and 26 last campaign.  

De Bruyne’s 400th appearance for Man City on Saturday served as a reminder of his quality to fans as he assisted Phil Foden.

After the match De Bruyne was questioned about contract negotiations with Man City but he replied swiftly: “I don’t care.

“I am just trying to get back to my level. I feel like every week I’m getting better. Fitness wise I’m getting better and able to run 90 minutes now.

“It’s been an uncomfortable couple of months with the injury but I am getting better, performing better and better so that’s it.”

Through his ten seasons he has accumulated 104 goals and 172 assists at the club, but there are worries from fans the 33-year-old could be tempted to sign the dotted line elsewhere.

Saudi Arabia and the US being a common destination for players in the twilight years of their career.

Especially the former, who have made headlines for offering the likes of Ivan Toney £400,000 a week.

But for now De Bruyne remains committed to putting Man City back on track to finish top four and grab a trophy.

A fifth successive Premier League title may be out of reach for the team as they sit in sixth, but an FA Cup or Champions League triumph is still possible. 

Commenting on De Bruyne, Guardiola explained: “I said many times there are no doubts about Kevin when Kevin is fit. 

“He was one of the most impactful players in the history of City and the Premier League.

“Sometimes he didn’t feel well in the recent past and sometimes he needs physicality to feel good, like everyone.”
